Nice move I have always been a Carr fan I hope he pans out. That being said this helps out the Chiefs in trying to unload Green Miami kept saying we can just go get Carr well they can't now and the Browns have been taking with Green about working out a deal let the bidding war start.

I don't think Carr is any good at all. A lot of the sacks WERE his fault, and for all the talk of him playing well this year, anyone in the NFL could complete whatever he did if they didn't throw over 5 yards EVER. But then again, we did see what Fox did with Delhomme, so you never know.

omg, carr is like, so good and it was all the texans fault, there's just like, no way (no WAY) it was that carr just wasn't a very good nfl quarterback and won't succeed anywhere in the nfl.

i don't get the love surrounding this guy. he could spend the next 5 years throwing 30 ints and 2 touchdowns with an offensive line of hall of famers and people would still make weak excuses for his poor play.

I think this is a very solid move from the Panthers perspective, but I think people are making a bit too much of this move as of now. Yes, there's a chance he could suddenly become a good QB, as the talent is there. But, there's a lot of remaking to do, and the odds are, it'll take some time. He needs to build up confidence, and that, in of itself, is not an easy task. Then, he needs mechanical work. Carr also needs to actually learn how to be a QB somewhat ... part of it is due to lost confidence, but he rushes and doesn't make accurate reads or go through his progressions with consistency, and not all of it can be blamed on the line play.

Not saying he can't be great, but let's not go overboard on this signing just yet. I like Carr, and I hope he does real well ... but there's a chance that this might be another pitstop on the road. That said, I do think it's an upgrade from Weinke, which provides better protection against a Delhomme injury (or ineffectiveness) and as such, I do think this is a good move for the Panthers.

Incredible huh? The posts in his favor on this thread are baffling. It is truely amazing how people can't see how awful the guy is. There is no way someone can actually say carr is any good at all after watching 1 single game of his. No way. You would have to be a complete idiot.

I like this signing.. If Delhomme falters at all like he did this year, I think Carolina would be wise to give Carr a shot. Young quarterback who didn't go #1 overall for no reason. I still believe he can be a pretty good quarterback in this league and there's no quesiton that the offensive talent and O-Line he has in Carolina is a huge upgrade than what he had in Houston.

It'll be interesting to see how Delhomme's "chuck and pray" mentality meshes with Carr's "Captain Checkdown" reputation to be sure

One could do worse than checking down to DeAngelo Williams (ex. another Delhomme sack/forced fumble). I think the Panthers would serve themselves well by trying to incorporate him into the offense as a whole, as say Brian Westbrook.

If Carr replaces Delhomme, the biggest single benifactor as far as numbers will be DeAngelo Williams as he may end up catching 10 balls a game. He will get a serious workout weekly via the signature carr move: The Dumpoff.

So in short, it's a good move by the Panthers and a brand new chance for David Carr. Everybody wins.

Storyline-wise though, it would be awesome if Carr suddenly blooms as a Panther, and becomes a Pro Bowl quarterback.

The criticisms are too harsh and the platitudes may be too glowing. Considering the mess he had to stand behind in Houston, this was the best answer for him.
Houston gave the guy "happy feet" and turned him into a nervous rabbit. If Fox can't settle him down and make him into the QB he should have been (Houston has shown consistent rotten judgement since the franchise opened), then it's over for the dude. He'll turn into Rodney Peete.
As far as "Cap'n Checkdown" goes...I'd rather a guy hit his checkdown than eat turf with the ball still in his hands.

How can you say that? Hes never had a good O-line so to predict something like that is insane
